'You want to play "Truth or dare"?' Anna sat up in the bed 'It would be boring with only the two of us and nobody else.'

'You're saying that because you're scared.' Ren teased. She rolled her eyes.

'Yeah, right. And what am I scared of?' Anna asked.

'Of playing "Truth or dare".' He answered simply. 'Come on, lets play.'

'Is there something else left that I don't know about you after all the studying and writing of notes yesterday?' she asked raising an eyebrow. 'And is there something left for you to learn about me?

'Yep. There're questions that need an answer.' Ren stood up from the floor, went to her, or rather his, bed and sat across of her. 'Come on Ice-queen. Play with me. Play with the fire. I don't burn as much as they say…'

He could feel her hesitation. She didn't need much to agree. Just a little push here and there… A second or so and she was going to give up. He was a pro, after all…

'You haven't played anything in… how long? Ten years?' he looked at her straight in the eyes, a smirk forming on his face. 'And it's not big deal! Just a game. Come on! Don't be a coward! I dare you to play!'

'Well…' Anna looked at him up and down 'Maybe the idea isn't that bad…'

'Excellent! Who's first?' he questioned, slightly tilting his head to a side. Anna rolled her eyes and nodded towards him to begin the game.

'Ok, "Truth or dare"?' he asked the famous question. She thought for a moment before answering:

'Truth.'

…And what he asked her next caught her completely off guard.

'Are you a virgin?' Ren questioned absolutely innocently, as if he was asking her to give him a candy. She just stared at him, her eyes big as plates. What was he thinking? To ask her such things? That was personal! More personal than "who do you like" or "do you have a boyfriend"! It was like a untold rule: never ask if someone's a virgin...

...Yet the damn Tao was asking her! And she had to answer honestly.

'What's that suppose to mean?' she hissed dangerously like a cat, ready to attack it's prey every minute now. Although, unlike every ordinary prey that had seen it's attacker approaching, he didn't seem to be bothered at all.

'It means: have you fucked Yoh?' Ren rearranged the question and smiled at her nicely. Anna narrowed her eyes, then growled baring her teeth and lifted her hand to slap him. His eyes widened a bit before her palm hit his cheek, leaving a bright red handprint.

There was a short pause before the boy lifted his head.

'I didn't quite get that. Could you repeat?' Ren asked again. The girl stared at him as if he was insane. Hadn't she been clear enough when she had slapped him? God, that boy was impossible!

'There's something very wrong with you today.' Anna said, shaking her head. Not that there wasn't something very wrong with him in every other day...

'I'm feeling very bored.' Ren replied almost sadly. 'But the rules of the game are that when you pick "truth" you answer honestly to the question.'

'What kind of question is this anyway?' Anna once again felt the burning desire to slap him.

'The kind of question you wouldn't answer willingly.' He explained a devilish spark in his golden eyes. 'Do I need to repeat the question?'

'You're disgusting sometimes.' She announced, shaking her head and looking at him as if he was some sort of a despicable snake.

'I have my days…' he answered with a shrug 'Answer now.'

'Fine!' she hissed 'I am. Happy?'

'Oh!' he stood still for a moment then looked at her strangely 'So you… and Yoh…. Never? What about a kiss?'

'We haven't kissed and we haven't ever done it!' she confirmed, getting really annoyed 'Now it's your turn. Truth or dare?'

'Truth.'

'Are you a virgin?' Anna asked, a very evil smile on her face. Revenge, oh, sweet revenge… Ren was blushing. How cute!

'W-well… uh… It's not fair asking the same question!' he tried to argue. Anna just laughed dryly.

'Yeah, right. Answer the question, pal, no one said I can't ask you the same question.' She pointed out and put on a creepy fake smile. 'Or I'm not going to play with you anymore.'

'This is getting childish.' Ren murmured, folding his arms.

'Yes, completely childish. Now ANSWER!'

'ALL RIGHT! I…'

'I didn't hear you!' Anna told him with a sweet voice and leaned forward.

'I'M NOT!' Ren finally shouted and his face became completely crimson.'I've lost it when I was sixteen.'

'You aren't?' she blinked a few times, her brain desperately trying to consume the new information.

'Truth or dare?' Ren asked before she could start asking millions of questions.

'I'll pick truth again.' Anna decided a bit absently, since her mind was way too busy with other things. He wasn't? How was that possible? When did he…

'Why are you marring Yoh?'

She was once again caught off guard.

'Well… he…' Anna tried to think of a good reason to marry the lazy brunette. Ren was watching her carefully. He was frowning, but she could tell he was very curious.

Why did she want to marry Yoh? She was so used to the idea of him being her fiancée that she couldn't remember why she wanted to be his wife in the first place. He was lazy, optimistic and could eat more burgers than she could count. That wasn't exactly… attractive, was it? Well, she did like him in some way. The only question was in what way? As a friend or as something else?

'He's nice, patient, he has a perfect self-control and comes from a proper family!' Anna answered firmly and after a while added cruelly 'In other words – he's the perfect opposite of you. You're anything but nice, you can't be patient, even if your life depends of it, you're short-tempered and I'm not going to say anything about what family you come from.'

'Oh…' Ren looked away, cleaning his throat. His fingers where rumpling the blanket. Anna's expression softened when she looked at him. She felt slightly guilty for telling him this. She knew how much he hated talking about his family and his past. For Ren it was a painful subject.

'Truth or dare?' she asked softly. He looked down for a moment, then his eyes met hers. The devilish spark back in his eyes.

'Dare.' He said, a smirk forming on his face. She raised an eyebrow, her lips also curving into a very devilish smile…

'Tell me again, why is this necessary...'

'It's a dare. It doesn't have to be necessary.'

'Well, I guess you're right… Yet I don't see what…'

'Oh, shut up and stay still.'

'I feel like a prostitute.'

'Yeah… You do look quite… well, whore-like.'

'Why thank you. It's interesting to hear it when you're a boy…'

'Done.'

'Finally! Feel free to laugh.'

Anna stepped back and closed the box with the make-up.

'I've always wanted to do this.' She announced dreamily.

'Congratulations then.' The Tao murmured. He glanced darkly at the mirror. Anna had painted the tip of his nose in black and had drawn whiskers. She had put some eye-line and had put a pair of cat-ears on his head.

'I don't see the point of being made-up to look like a cat.' Ren said, folding his hands.

'You have cat-like eyes. It suits you.'

'It would've suited me if I was a girl!'

'Come on!' she put her hands on her knees and slightly tilted her head to a side to look at him from another angle. Before she could hold it back she told him: 'You look cute!'

Anna's eyes widened when she realized what she had said. Ren was looking at her strangely, a deep frown on his face. She immediately stood up and turned around avoiding his gaze and hiding her pink face.

"OH MY GOD! Why did I say that? I've must have gone insane because of his influence!" she thought. Her eyes shifted from side to side almost as if she was searching for something to help her out of the situation.

'Uh…Uh… I-I… aah…' She started stammering.

'Truth or dare.' Ren simply asked. His voice was firm and calm as if nothing had happened. Anna turned around, hoping to face him and see his expression, but he was cleaning the make-up she had put in front of the mirror on and was with his back to her.

"Uh… dare." Anna answered without thinking and sat on the bed, still trying to consume what had just happened.

Ren turned around and took off the face cat-ears in the process.

'Ok… ' the Tao paused for a second before continuing, a smirk slowly appearing on his face 'I dare you to sleep in one bed with me.'

'WHAT?' she shouted, then remembered that her sister and David were sleeping in a room nearby and lowered her voice to a dangerous hiss. 'Are you out of your mind? I can't do that! I'm engaged!'

'Said the girl that wanted Ren to pretend to be her boyfriend.' The shaman mocked, folding his arms. 'Come on, girl. No one will find out. Besides, it's a dare. You have no choice. Just be thankful that I'm not making you sleep on the floor.'

'OHHHHHHH! ALL RIGHT! Damn!' she threw her hands in the air in defeat.

'Great! Now let's play cards!' Ren said, walking to his desk and pulling a deck from it.

'Cards?' Anna raised an eyebrow when the Tao sat across of her on the bed. 'You don't plan to sleep this night, do you?'

'Come on! Aren't you having a good time?' he asked as he dealt the cards. She looked at him strangely.

'Fun? With you?' she paused as he looked at her with expectation 'I can't believe I'm saying this, but yeah… I am.'

I think this chapter was quite boring and I'm sorry if it's true. Anyway, tell me what you think.
